Put Not Your Trust in Princes

"Put Not Your Trust in Princes."—While some scientists like Professors Hodgson, James, and Hyslop are finding scientific evidence for immortality in Modern Spiritism, Dr. Ernst Haeckel, in the San Francisco Examiner of December 31, declares: "The belief in the immortality of the human soul is a dogma in utter contradiction to the facts which investigation has proved to be true. . . . If, as science proves, mind, soul consciousness, are only properties of soul plasm, the cell itself, when that cell dies thought must cease, save as it has passed on to others." And this is all great Science can offer. It speaks truly; man is not immortal. But God, in Jesus Christ, gives life to His children here, and immortality at His second coming and the resurrection. This is the hope, the only sure hope, of immortality.
